I assume the name of the town comes from the "evergreen" oaks found

easily.

Again, your childish low life insults show you don't know what in hell
you are talking about, Live Oaks aren't in any way or form

*From wiki:
Harry,
If it wasn't for Google, you wouldn't know anything at all.

Reggie,
If Harry were not here you would not have anything to post to this NG
anymore. * Every post of yours today was in response to something he said or
had his name in it. * Your intentions here are obvious. *You really do not
to get a life.

When I actually looked at the little Reggie-crap's posts, I noticed that
* at least 90% of them were his petty insults aimed at me or other users
he does not like. Most of the rest were inanities. He tries to couch his
insults so they don't look like insults, but that only fools the idiots
here.

The classic Reggie's are when he insults the lives and possessions of
others and very carefully doesn't post anything of sigificance about his
own life or possessions so he can escape any sort of criticism. He's a
classic troll.- Hide quoted text -

Hell, Harry, you're the king of petty insults.

Heck, you prefer not to even take out the boat, and then you don't have
to do anything at all. 20 hrs a year.... grin.
